Vancouver's beloved tequila and agave festival is returning this month
It’s that time of year again: Vancouver’s popular Tequila and Agave Festival is returning, featuring over 100 agave rands, cocktails, food, live mariachi, DJs, and an educational experience.
New to this year is the introduction of the Agave Celebration. This is a new closing experience where guests can continue the evening with more mariachi, cocktails, agave spirits, and the festival’s beer garden.
“This is not just about tasting, it is about interaction. We design the experience so you can engage directly with the people behind the spirits, ask questions, compare profiles, and understand what you are drinking. It is a space built for conversation, discovery, and connection,” wrote the festival on its website.

There are four different experiences available for guests at this year’s festivities. Folks who purchase a Grand Tasting ticket are granted general admission to the Tequila and Agave Expo (with tasting events running from 7 to 11 p.m.) where they can experience tasting from participating bands, have access to the food available on site, enjoy music from mariachi and live bands, and access the Legacy Store where guests can purchase select products they tasted at the event to take home with them.
Trade Tasting tickets are also available, offering an opportunity for industry professionals to experience premium brands, connect with producers, and enjoy a variety of small bites from 4 to 5:30 p.m.
However, those looking for the most premium experience can purchase VIP Tasting tickets, giving them access to a private room featuring a selection of ultra-premium tequilas and agave spirits curated for the discerning palate.
There is also a special terroir workshop hosted by Darryl Lamb of Legacy Liquor Store, exploring how soil, climate, elevation, and origin influence the flavour and character of tequila.
